Four-armed Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion the Tibetans call Chenrezig, cast in bronze with a dark antique finish. The front hands meet at the heart around the wish-fulfilling jewel, the right hand lifts a mala and the left a lotus. He sits on a double lotus base, small enough for a desk or a shelf altar.

Details
  • Design: Four-armed Chenrezig seated in lotus posture: front hands in anjali holding the jewel, upper right hand with a mala, upper left with a lotus; five-leaf crown, antelope skin over the left shoulder, double lotus base
  • Size: 4" high, 2.625" wide, 2" deep; about 1 lb
  • Material: Cast bronze with an antique finish
  • Care: Dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Do not polish; the dark finish is intentional
  • Note: Hand cast and hand finished, so details and patina vary from piece to piece
  • Origin: Made in Nepal
Meaning & Intention

Avalokiteshvara is the bodhisattva who hears the cries of the world. In Tibet he is Chenrezig, the one who looks with unwavering eyes, and his six-syllable mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is the most spoken prayer in the Himalaya.

The four arms show how compassion works. Two hands hold the jewel of the awakened heart close, one hand counts the mala of steady practice, and one holds a lotus that rises clean out of the mud.

Set him where you sit. His gaze is lowered, not away from the world but toward it.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Compassion, patience, an open heart

Symbol: Wish-fulfilling jewel, mala and lotus; the four arms of Chenrezig

Chakra connection: Heart

Ideal for: A home altar, a meditation corner, a desk, or a gift for someone in a caring profession

Suggested mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum

Questions & Guidance

Who is Chenrezig?

The Tibetan name for Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. The Dalai Lamas are held to be his emanations, and his mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is carved on stones and spun in prayer wheels across the Himalaya.

How is this different from the gold leaf Chenrezig?

Same deity, different hand. This one is a little taller, with a dark antique bronze finish and no paint; the other is painted with gold leaf. Both are cast in Nepal.

Where should I place it?

Traditionally at or above eye level when you are seated, facing into the room. A shelf, a desk corner or a small altar all work. Keep it out of damp spots so the finish stays even.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
